Chapter 130: Accounts Discrepancies (Additions)
Yan Saburo wiped the place she had touched. This woman knew his problem, and she liked to do it to him more and more, just to see his embarrassment, alas.
......
Another day later, Yan Saburo received the last payment of the morning, and before he could do anything, lunch had already been served. Everyone else in the account room left the table and said, "San Lang, let's eat first." ”
He was going to feed the beautiful cat after eating, full of tricks, everyone was too tired and depressed these days, and he urgently needed to watch a cat to relieve stress.
What's more, Yan Saburo's cat eats very delicately and elegantly, just as Steward Xu said: "It looks like everyone is beautiful, with a small nose and a small mouth, much cuter than those girls in the county." He said this, and it had something to do with the fact that Yan Saburo never let his cat lie on the ground to eat.
Naturally, they didn't know the underlying reason that Lord Chitose once stared at the phoenix and scolded: "The slave only squats on the ground to eat!"
There's no end to the work anyway. Yan Saburo answered, and was about to put down his pen, but the man standing in front of him bowed his waist again and again: "Little accountant, you, can you help me do this first?" My brothers and I are in a hurry to catch up with the next errand. We haven't eaten yet. ”
This man was born thin and sturdy, his face was tanned, and his face was full of weather. Yan Saburo has a good memory, and he recognizes this as a second-class executioner in the Chamber of Commerce, named Hu Wenqing.
Looking at his honest face, hiding a little anxiety between his eyebrows, Yan Saburo said, "Okay." With his backhand, he dipped the pen in ink and spread out the book.
What Hu Wenqing came to report was a dead account, that is, a damaged account. The two convoys of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce were intercepted and killed in the middle of the road, and the other party swept away the most valuable goods, and the rest were still thrown in place. After receiving the news, the Chamber of Commerce sent a team to count, transport, and carry these materials back, including horses, vehicles, and relatively heavy goods, which are not easy for thieves to carry with them.
After all, killing people and robbing the road is about efficiency.
Hu Wenqing and his team were obviously sent to do this. This trip is over, and there is the next trip, so he urged Yan Saburo to do the accounts, and the small account room has taken care of the accounts here, and there is no doubt about the treasury.
The other stewards had already gathered together to eat, and beckoned to him: "San Lang, hurry up, if you don't come again, there will be no food." ”
"Right now. Yan Saburo's calculations are like flying, and the accounts are checked one by one, as if there is no problem.
In the blink of an eye, he was almost done, and he suddenly paused.
Something seems wrong?
Seeing this, Hu Wenqing said cautiously: "Little sir, is there anything wrong?" his tone was respectful, but the white cat on the cabinet sensed a trace of nervousness that he was trying to hide.
"There's something wrong with this man. Chitose said to Tsubazaburo.
Yan Saburo said in a low voice, "Wait a minute. ”
Hu Wenqing was a little anxious: "Little sir, can you hurry up, I'm ...... here"
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for me to finish. Yan Saburo said, turned around and rummaged through the cabinet, finding another account book.
Seeing his actions, Hu Wenqing swallowed his saliva.
Chitose explained: "His heart is beating faster, come on." ”
Yan Saburo glared at her, and then opened the account book to the middle section, and read it with his fingers according to the entries.
Hu Wenqing also stared at it, although he couldn't understand it. For laymen, the account book is not much different from the book of heaven:
"What is this, little sir?"
"You're picking up the relics of the Gaotouling Horse Team this time. I looked at the number of people and the goods that the team had brought with them before they set off. "These two teams are special, the main target of the escort is not the cargo but the VIPs, and they are also the magnates of the mortals. Therefore, before the team went on the road, the entries about people and things had already been reported, and they were originally waiting for the team to arrive and check it again to ensure that nothing went wrong, but now it can only be done.
Hu Wenqing let out an "ah", obviously unaware: "And this?" He was doing salvage and transportation work afterwards, how did he know that the Chamber of Commerce had such a meticulous and thorough prelude this time?
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. The white cat was facing him and could see it clearly.
Her tail tapped lightly on the cabinet.
What if there is an initial account? The people in the team have almost been killed, and the valuables have been looted, so who can decide how many goods are left?
The two stewards, Wu and Li, also went to the scene and counted them in person. Hu Wenqing smiled, "There will be no problem." ”
Yan Saburo let out an "um", but didn't look up.
"Why do you do things so carefully, will the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce give you an extra tael of silver?" Chitose said coolly behind him, "If you spoil other people's financial routes, be careful that people will retaliate against you afterwards." ”
Her words are inaudible to ordinary people. Yan Saburo still replied: "To receive this money, you have to fulfill this responsibility." ”
These words were half said to her, and half to Hu Wenqing.
The latter's face changed slightly, but Steward Xu, who was not far away, clapped his hands and praised: "Well said." ”
"Here it is. Yan Saburo finally found the information he wanted to see, stared twice, and then looked at the book handed over by Hu Wenqing, and compared the two.
Hu Wenqing doesn't know a single big character, but this book is actually a list issued by the warehouse when the materials sent by his team were put into storage.
Steward Xu looked like something was wrong here: "San Lang, what's wrong?"
Yan Saburo lifted the old book: "It is said here that the object sent by the Lord of Linghu Zhai is 'one hundred catties of first-class rose snow salt, and one treasure chest in Suhu Muzhen'." Then he picked up the list sent by the warehouse and pointed to the above, "But the materials you picked up this time were only marked with 100 catties of rose snow salt." ”
The "salt" that can be sent to the auction house is, of course, different from the coarse salt used by civilians and a large bag of two pennies, and is worth at least a hundred times more.
Snow salt itself is a specialty of Gaotouling, because the color is like snow, and the entrance is also soft like snow, so it has such a nice name. In particular, it cooks cold dishes and snacks to bring out the sweetness and sweetness of ice and snow.
Of course, snow salt is also divided into three, six and nine grades, and the best is this rose snow salt. It is also the only place of origin in Gaotouling, and it only comes from a high-temperature salt spring.
The water from the spring is a rare pink, and when it is dried and sifted, it gives a rose-colored salt. The dishes cooked with it have the fragrance of roses and the softness of snow salt, and many Xuanmen powers like it very much.
Hu Wenqing's face changed suddenly: "What do you mean, do you mean that I started stealing! Little sir, I have always been very polite to you, but what are you talking about!"
Steward Xu also walked over, looked at the book and said, "The treasure chest may have been robbed by robbers." We weren't there, and we didn't know what was going on. ”
"It's still Steward Xu's thoughtfulness!" Hu Wenqing looked at him gratefully.
